GRADING CRITERIA: The final grade is subject to the following weighting distribution and grading scale: Lecture Grade (75% of final grade) Lab Grade (25% of final grade) Final Grade Test 1 15% Lab Reports 90% 90 and above A 65 – 69.9 C+ Test 2 15% Lab Notebook 10% 85 – 89.9 A– 60 – 64.9 C Test 3 15% 80 – 84.9 B+ 50 – 59.9 D Test 4 15% 75 – 79.9 B Below 50 F Homework 20% 70 – 74.9 B– Final Exam 20% 1. Grades: The grades are computed by weighing lecture grade (75%) and laboratory grade (25%). If you have a question about a grade, please make an appointment to see me in my office. Grades will not be discussed in any other setting (before/after class, etc.). Late assignments and reports will not be accepted and will receive a zero score. Final grades will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. 2. Lecture grade: It will be based on five examinations. The first four exams will be conducted during the class time (class exams) and the final exam is comprehensive. The exams will be closed-notes and closed-book unless otherwise announced. Class exams will be based on the material covered up to and including the material discussed in the previous class, unless otherwise noticed. The exams may have both multiple choice, and free response questions. Make-up exams will only be given for students who provide appropriate documentation for excused absences in a timely fashion. Make-up labs can only be done while the experiment is set up. 3. Laboratory grade: It will be based on written lab reports, and in class quizzes It will depend on (a) Pre-lab quiz /preparation (b) Safety, behavior in lab, work quality (c) Quality of write-up, data presentation (d) Calculation, quality of results (e) Conclusions, explanation of results, error analysis. 4. Homework: Problem sets will be assigned most Fridays and will be due in class the following Friday. Late homework will not be accepted. Please remember that you earn your grades; faculty does not “give” grades.
